I'm with you there...

I bought a Gen4 21 and leaving the adapters off helped with the trigger reach that I normally struggle with on those guns. I put the Glock 3.5# connecter in it and it seemed to help the pull but not enough. I never could get a good trigger pull with that gun and sold it. I bought this Gen4 19 and it has a crappy trigger also but not quite as bad. I put a 3.5 Minus connector in this one and it got worse...far worse. After some research I learned the G4 trigger is redesigned and it doesn't work as well with the 3.5 connector and there is a middle ground connector that works better but I'd have to find the article to remember which one. Either way, I pulled this one apart, went back to the factory connecter, polished the contact surfaces, mixed some Brian Enos Slide Glide with USGI lubrication grade moly and lubed the slide with it and that made a huge difference. I wish I could go back to that 21 and try it but it's a bit late. I'm just gonna stick with this 19 for now and if I try another 21 I'll get a G3 SF or change the trigger and connecter if I get a G4 and see if that helps. I think my G4 had about a 10# pull and there was nothing smooth about it.
